Good Shepherd, Lamb of God

Gerrit W. Gong

"At this Easter season, we celebrate the Good Shepherd, who is also the Lamb of God. Of all His divine titles, no others are more tender or telling. We learn much from our Savior's references to Himself as the Good Shepherd and from prophetic testimonies of Him as the Lamb of God. These roles and symbols are powerfully complementary - who better to succor each precious lamb than the Good Shepherd, and who better to be our Good Shepherd than the Lamb of God?"

I spoke with my friend Debbie today about her cataract surgery. A Dr. Pfister from the valley came up to Barnett Delaney and did one of her eyes, and then two weeks later, did the other. She said the first thing I needed to do was to call my doctor and tell him what my plans are.

Brian and Kim left this morning. We were sad to see them go but grateful that Kim is feeling a little better.

While working and walking today I watched some of the Countdown to Summer favorite movies from past years. The first one I watched was "Summer of Dreams" starring Debbie Gibson and Pascale Hutton. Debbie plays a washed up superstar who coaches  a choir group at a high school in Ohio. It was fun.

The number one favorite countdown to summer movies was this year's "Paris, Wine and Romance" starring Jen Lilley.

I love the digital photo frame Kim and Brian gave us last year for our anniversary. They showed me how to load more photos from my phone so I am excited to do that!

It was windy today so of course I stayed inside. James is a little more adventurous than I am and went outside to work on the deck.

We watched a new Hallmark movie, "Love in the Sun." Here is my favorite quote from the movie by Kai: "There aren't any alligators, the sharks ate them all."

Ben wrote a letter to Sheri and gave quite a sermon on repentance today.

Ben has such a strong testimony and is not afraid to share it with others. What a preacher!

The Joy of Unselfish Service

Cristina B. Franco

"That day I had a better appreciation for her chocolate cake. More important, I learned that the secret ingredient in Victoria's cake was the love she had for those she served and her unselfish sacrifice in our behalf."

I gave James 5mg of oxycodone and two aspirin while he was still in bed. He overdid it yesterday. 

At 9 a.m. Sister Thompson, the RS secretary came over and we wrapped almost 50 gifts for the Relief Society sisters. Maxine did the wrapping and I did the putting the declaration and purpose into the frames. Maxine is fun to talk to and is becoming a good friend. She told me about Sister Vaught going to the Apache county meeting and calling them "Gadianton" robbers. She told them they would know what she means because they are members of the Church.

She told me about the Kustiziak's baptism and Brother Applegate's awesome talk about Judaism and Mormonism.

Maxine went to the temple 3x this week. She has researched thousands of family names.

We finished around noon when Brother Thompson picked up Maxine and they took all of the gifts to the church building.

My neighbor, Chuck, came over and took all our garbage to the dump. James is out for the count.

I watched some Up channel movies while I blogged. I am tired so nothing too physical. I watched: "Christmas Solo," "A Very Country Christmas," "A Puppy for Christmas," "Christmas on the Coast," and "Christmas Pen Pals." 

When James got up he wanted me to build a fire, so I did. I wrapped three blankets, one for Paul, Stacy, and Adam. 

I also managed to get over 10,000 steps.
